I got to play around with a Vive for a few hours and painted a Mew and Mewtwo. Mewtwo Is huge, I think he’s roughly 6 feet tall in person, while Mew is like a medium sized dog.
If only it didn’t require a what, $400+ graphics card, i7 series CPU (or better) (and the $400+ pricetag for the hardware as well)
(To “Get VR Ready”, I’ve got to get a stronger card, [750ti won’t cut it] spend another $100 on filling in the other 16gb of RAM slots so I can multitask better[streaming], then $500+ on the Vive. Sure wish they sold it as pieces so I can slowly and affordably buy it. The wands, the receivers/emitters, and then the main headset itself.)
Please tell me you got to play with the Pool Nation VR and break beer bottles with reckless abandon?
Yeah this was at a friend of mine’s place, my comp can barely handle WoW lol. It still lagged after some play and some games glitched quite a bit but…I just can not get over how immersive it was. Videos don’t do it justice at ALL.
I also played:
theBlu - The whale swimming by legitimately intimidated me. Just seeing one swim by in scale was just…wow.
Audioshield - Fun but I lack rhythm so I wasn’t very good lol.
A Chair in a Room: Greenwater - FUCK FUCK FUCK NOPE FUCK. Seeing a video lets play just does NOT do this justice. I couldn’t get over how real even the lady behind the medicine glass was to me, the TV looks so REAL in person. I got legit cold sweat I was so scared seeing that cop with a shotgun outside the hotel window.
Vanishing Realms: Took a minute to get used to teleporting around but holy shit the combat is SO GOOD. Parrying and blocking with two blades or a shield…the bow, being able to literally duck for cover….it felt like what skyward sword WANTED to be. I hope I can finish it next time I visit. Downside was I kept getting too immersed and stepping too far out of the circle.
Waltz of the Wizard - more of a tech demo but very fun to play with. Beth poofed around as a skull and shot things while I kept lighting things on fire and air drawing dicks.
Home Improvisation - Ikea furniture building, with FRIENDS! Didn’t glitch quite as much as it did for Griffon, but it was fun figuring it out. We did 2 player with one on the desktop.

I’m asexual. Yesterday, while having sexual education class, my teacher said tat the only sexual orientations were heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality. So I asked her why nobody talked about asexuality in sexual education classes. This is what she said: “That’s because asexuality isn’t a sexual orientation. Asexuality is a disease. Asexual people were born wrong, because everybody feels sexual attraction.” And then, the bell rang and she leaved the classroom. Guess who cried for about… 15 minutes? Yeah, me. All my classmates saw me, and one of them (a girl who I thought that was my friend, and she already knew about my asexuality) asked to me: “So you have that disease??”. I’m tired. I’m so fucking tired. It is horrible being told that “it is a phase” or that “you haven’t met the right person yet” or, even worse, “it’s a disease”.
To all the asexuals out there, stay strong.
Asexuality is not a disease.
Asexuality is not a disease.
Asexuality is not a disease.
Your teacher is wrong. She basically said that asexual people are broken and that there’s something wrong with them, which is so not true. I will fight anyone who says that aces are broken.
There is nothing wrong with asexual people.
Dunno why I posted this on my personal blog… oops. Point still stands!
Fuck that teacher. She can just stop teaching, right now.
My LGBT Studies professor denied that asexuality existed and eluded to believing that genders outside of the binary are “a fad.” Guess who dropped that class after the first day?
how?? the fuck??? did they??? get?? that job?????
When I was in high school I joined the LGBTA club as an ally. That’s what I really thought the A stood for.
Growing up and sincerely believing the “not meeting the right person yet” did so much damage to me. Getting close to someone and still feeling completely repulsed by the idea of me doing anything sexual, I honestly did think I was broken. For awhile I truly believed I couldn’t possibly love a partner if there was nothing sexual behind it.
I found out about Asexuality in my mid twenties. It was like a bolt of lightning. “Oh! This perfectly explains what I am! I wish I knew this sooner!”
It explained why I held such a strong platonic relationship with Tara. I want to be with her. I want to protect her.
I love her.
Platonicly. I feel for her so strongly I can’t really put it into words, but again, platonicly. (She’s my squish)
I thought kids learning about this stuff much earlier are so lucky but some of the same bullshit still resides in safe spaces. “Straight Passing,” “platonic is boring, this is for people with REAL problems”. Its so frustrating to still be invisible in a place you’d think would understand you.
I’m sorry you had to deal with someone like this. Especially as such a vulnerable age. Just remember,
